2016-2017 Winter Farmers Markets

Faith in Place

Information from Faith in Place: Faith in Place sponsors indoor Winter Farmers Markets throughout Chicagoland. Our markets are itinerant, meaning we are constantly moving to different houses of worship, and are open to the public. They provide small, local farm producers who use sustainable practices additional venues to extend their income beyond the growing season. We collaborate with many different faith communities and each season will be slightly different. This year we will have 16 markets on various Saturdays and Sundays from November through March. Link cards/SNAP benefits accepted at all markets! Also, be sure to check to see if we are doubling Link value. Up to $20 in Link purchases may be matched at certain markets!
